Breeding Marine fish?

[UltraLPS]

I am looking to see what species of marine fish people in Canada have managed to breed in their aquariums. I managed to breed numerous types of fresh water fish and found it to be fairly easy. However, there isn't much written about breeding marine fish in an aquarium aside from clownfish so I am very curious to see what experiences people have had?

Anyone out there have any luck breeding salt water fish aside from clownfish?

I have seen people having success with neon goby and banggai cardinal.

I have a breeding pair of Marine Bettas but they laid their first and only batch of eggs in my main display a year ago. I have a friend who regularly raises live rotifers, bbs, and phytoplankton who lives nearby and if he sets up a proper breeding system for the bettas, I may try to catch them out and let him have a go at breeding and rearing the young.

Thanks for the link Soapy!

As for Seahorse Fanatic, did any of the eggs make it to the fry stage or larger and have you tried breeding seahorses? We have a few breeders in Ontario who have had great success breeding some fairly rare species.

I had a spawn of 1000s of tiny fry one night, which were the baby Marine Bettas. Unfortunately I wasn't set up to take care of baby fish that size and so my fish and corals feasted well that night. Probably around 2 or 3 in the morning is when I saw this.

I sure will. I have a 16g desktop nano that will be perfect for them if it happens
